点评:Disappointed with⁹ La Perla
We had a reservation for Saturday night and were running late, so we called the restaurant but got no answer. This was already frustrating, but we hoped things would improve once we arrived. Unfortunately, they didn't.
First Impressions Matter
The exterior of the restaurant was unkempt, which didn't set a good tone for the evening. Inside, the atmosphere was equally disappointing. The tables were full, but there was an eerie silence—no one was really talking. It seemed like the restaurant was understaffed, as the waiters looked visibly angry and overwhelmed. Guests appeared to be waiting long periods for their orders, which only added to the tense atmosphere.
Service Issues
Our table wasn't ready when we arrived, so we were directed to the bar. However, there was no bartender in sight. A waiter had to go behind the bar to get a glass of wine for a table, and the wine glass was terrible—an old, thick Chianti glass. At one point, a guest walked up and asked if they could take their ordered glass back to their table, but the waiter rudely told them to go back to their table as he was looking for the wine bottle. This lack of organization and professionalism was quite off-putting.
Wine List Woes
The wine list was the worst I've ever seen. There was only one Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles, and it looked like the list hadn't been updated since the 80s. For a restaurant that presumably prides itself on its dining experience, this was a major letdown.
Overall Ambiance
The restaurant itself looked tired and dusty. It was clear that it hadn't been maintained well, which made us question the overall quality of the establishment. We ended up leaving without even trying the food because the first impression was so poor.
Final Thoughts
Maybe the food is good, but based on our first impression, I wouldn't recommend La Perla. The old, bad wine list, grumpy servers, and overall unkempt appearance were major turn-offs.
翻译:对⁹ La Perla 感到失望
我们预订了周六晚上的座位,但时间已经很晚了,所以我们给餐厅打电话,但没人接。这已经很令人沮丧了,但我们希望我们到达后情况会有所改善。不幸的是,情况并没有好转。
第一印象很重要
餐厅的外观很凌乱,这给晚上的气氛打下了不好的基调。餐厅内部的氛围同样令人失望。桌子都坐满了,但一片诡异的寂静——没有人真正说话。餐厅似乎人手不足,因为服务员看起来明显很生气,不知所措。客人似乎要等很长时间才能拿到订单,这只会加剧紧张的气氛。
服务问题
我们到达时,我们的桌子还没有准备好,所以我们被带到了酒吧。然而,看不到调酒师。服务员不得不去吧台后面为桌子拿一杯酒,而且酒杯很糟糕——一个又旧又厚的基安蒂酒杯。有一次,一位客人走过来询问是否可以将他们点的酒杯带回自己的桌子,但服务员粗鲁地告诉他们回到自己的桌子,因为他正在寻找酒瓶。这种缺乏组织性和专业性的行为令人非常反感。
酒单的困境
酒单是我见过的最糟糕的。只有一种来自帕索罗布尔斯的赤霞珠,而且看起来自 80 年代以来就没有更新过。对于一家以其用餐体验为傲的餐厅来说,这是一个很大的失望。
整体氛围
餐厅本身看起来陈旧而尘土飞扬。很明显,它没有得到很好的维护,这让我们对这家餐厅的整体质量产生了怀疑。我们最终甚至没有尝试食物就离开了,因为第一印象太差了。
结语
也许食物不错,但根据我们的第一印象,我不会推荐 La Perla。陈旧的、糟糕的酒单、脾气暴躁的服务员以及整体凌乱的外观都是让人很不满意的地方。
